How to Create an Event and Make a Booking on Native Spaces
First, it's important to understand the difference between events and booking requests on the Native Spaces platform.
An event: This is the overall event you're organizing (for example, a corporate seminar, a wedding, or a birthday party). This is where you define key details such as the date, time, event type, and guest count. Once created, you can link multiple booking requests to the same event if you're considering different venue options. A booking request: This is a specific request sent to a venue host for your event. It includes the event details, a budget estimate, and any additional notes or requests for the host. A booking request is tied to a venue you're interested in, allowing you to check its availability or request a quote.This organization helps you centralize the information and easily track your requests.
Now that you know this, here are the steps to organize your first event and make a venue request.

How to use a previously created event
Once you've created an event, you can easily reuse it to make a new venue request.
Here’s how to do it:
Search for other venues: Go to the venue search page, just like you normally would. Choose your previous event: On the request page, go to the "Choose or create a new event" section. You'll see your previously created events there. Select your event The information auto-fills: As soon as you select the event, all the details (date, time, event type, guest count, etc.) will be automatically filled in the request form.⚠️ Note: If the venue you select is not suitable for the event you've created (for example, if it exceeds the guest count or doesn't accept that type of event), you won’t be able to choose that event from the list. In this case, select another venue that meets your needs.
